Report from the Session
At the January 13th meeting of the Presbytery of
New Brunswick, the decision of the Synod of the
Northeast Permanent Judicial Commission
regarding disciplinary charges filed against the Rev.
Elizabeth Vandegrift was read and recorded in the
minutes as is required by our Book of Order, the
denomination’s form of government. Here is the
entire content of that report:
By order of the moderator of the Permanent
Judicial Commission of the Synod of the
Northeast I (the stated-clerk of the
presbytery) report to the presbytery that
charges filed against the Reverend Elizabeth
Vandegrift alleging plagiarism were
dismissed by the Permanent Judicial
Commission of the Synod of the Northeast,
subject to an agreement between Ms.
Vandegrift and the prosecuting committee
that satisfied both parties.
All documents pertaining to the judicial case,
including the terms of the agreement, are to be held
in confidence by the parties to the agreement.
The Session decided that it was important to have
this information available to the people of our
congregation because of the past conflict in the
congregation, the deep emotions carried by some of
our people around this judicial case, and so that the
action of the Judicial Committee is interpreted and
understood.
First, understand that in our disciplinary system any
allegations of ministerial misconduct will result in
the formation of an investigative committee by the
presbytery where the minister/pastor is a member.
That committee carries out an investigation to
determine if the allegations warrant charges to be
filed, what those charges are to be, and the level of
discipline that will be sought. It is that committee
that is then responsible for filing charges, which
then begins the process towards a “trial”, or
determining that charges are not warranted and
the process ends with the committee reporting
accordingly to the stated-clerk of the presbytery.
If the committee determines that charges are
warranted, and if so, the stated –clerk is informed,
as is the accused and the permanent judicial
commission of the presbytery. At this point the
investigative committee and the accused may seek
resolution of the charges, before they are prosecuted
before the judicial commission. If the parties
agree, and the judicial commission agrees with the
resolution, the process ends with the announcement
of the agreement.
When this happens, there is no decision as to guilt
or innocence regarding the charges. The agreement
usually includes steps to be carried out in for the
fulfilment of the agreement.
The parties agree that the matter is ended as long as
the agreement is fulfilled.. This is what has
happened in this matter. The members of the
presbytery’s investigative committee tasked with
prosecuting the charges, and Elizabeth reached an
agreement for the resolution of the judicial case
without it going to trial.
The session and I as your pastor invite any of you
who have questions about this to speak with me. I
will gladly listen to your questions and your
thoughts. The session is working to establish a way
for any who are still troubled by this to find peace
and resolution.
In Christ’s service

__________________________________________
Walk the Labyrinth
You are invited to walk the Labyrinth during this
Lenten Season. From March 20th through March
27th, Princeton Seminary’s portable Labyrinth will
be set up in Fellowship Hall. Walking the
Labyrinth is an ancient spiritual practice being
reclaimed as a meaningful tool for developing and
strengthening our faith. It can be understood as
prayer in movement, a pilgrimage, or what it is, and
the faith journey it invites us to take.
Choral Settings of the Agnus Dei
by Hans Leo Hassler, Franz Schubert, Charles
Gounod, Bob Chilcott and Ethan McGrath
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere
nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis
pacem.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
have mercy upon us.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
grant us your peace.
The symbol of Jesus Christ as a lamb, or the Lamb
of God, is one that has been widely used in artistic
expressions of faith throughout the history of
Christianity. The idea originates with John the
Baptist, who declares in John 1:29, “Behold the
lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.”
In describing Jesus as the “Lamb of God”, we bring
to mind the sacrificial nature of his life and death
and our ultimate redemption through that sacrifice.
The Agnus Dei is a widely used Christian prayer,
and is one of the standard parts of the Catholic
Mass, usually spoken between the Lord’s Prayer
and the Eucharist (communion).
Speaking these ancient words in Latin transports us
from our daily lives of work and routine, into a
prayful opportunity of connection and communion
with the Holy Spirit within us. And of course, music
is its own special kind of prayer, both for the
performer and the listener. During the morning
service, the choir will be presenting several
different choral arrangements of these ancient
words, written by composers from the 16th century
to the present. As we listen to different
interpretations of the same text, we can be reminded
of how our lives and journeys are unique to each of
us, shaped by our experiences and circumstances,
but in God, we are all one - we speak the same text that of love and faith and hope.
Please join us on March 22nd for a special
opportunity to experience God’s word through
prayer and music.
_________________________________________
Seder Meal
On April 2nd, Maundy Thursday, we will share in a
Seder meal beginning with the traditional Seder
plate followed by an Agape Meal, which is a light
supper consisting of foods Jesus may have shared
with his disciples. The Service of Shadows will
follow the Seder. Look for sign-up sheets later in
the month.
_________________________________________
Seniors
In spite of the cold, the Ewing Presbyterian Seniors
had a good turnout for their meeting on February
3rd. We enjoyed each other's fellowship over lunch
and discussed future programs.
Rich Stoneking, physical therapist, provided our
program. He spoke about falls, and why it is
important to do all we can to avoid them. He talked
about things we could do to reduce hazards in our
homes and ways we could strengthen our muscles,
especially our quadriceps, to lessen the possibility
of falling when bumped. He gave us several
handouts on these topics to encourage us to take the
steps he outlined for us.
Our next meeting will be on March 3rd and will be
a potluck lunch. The program will be given by
Stephanie Bradley from Meals on Wheels.
We are also exploring the possibility of a bus trip to
Hunterdon Hills Playhouse for our June meeting.
Copies of the hand out from the February meeting
are available on the table outside of Fellowship
Hall or by contacting the Church Office.

There is nothing better for mortals than to eat and
drink, and find enjoyment in their toil. This also, I
saw, is from the hand of God; for apart from him
who can eat or who can have enjoyment?
~Ecclesiastes 2:24-25
Beloveds, Spring is almost here! Very soon the days
will lengthen and the earth will thaw, and we will
be able to go outside and feel the warmth of the air
on our skin! In the meantime, in this Lenten season,
I pray you and your families are keeping warm,
using the weather as an excuse to seek inward after
God, the source of joy and hope and peace. This
spring, I invite you to my home for dinner. We will
be gathering in groups of 8-10 for no other purpose
than to eat together, enjoy each other's company,
and pray for one another. If you would like to join
us for dinner, please contact me for dates! I hope
you will join us, whether you are a family or an
individual, teenagers or adults, grandmas, grandpas,
aunties, uncles, the friend next door. Let's gather to
love and care for one another over a meal and see
how God blesses us!
All my love to you,
Pastor Katie

Nursery School Notes
March is always a wonderful month at the nursery
school. One of the themes throughout this month is the
weather because we can see all kinds of weather, from
snowfall to warm sunshine. Many kites and windsocks
are created in the classrooms and some are put to the test
outdoors. Of course, there is a lot of green in March for
St. Patrick’s Day and we see such beautiful shades of
green when we have a mini-fieldtrip to see the newly
budding plants and trees.
spring and what happens in the spring, especially the
blossoming of spring flowers. If weather permits, we
will take a walk around the outside of the school to look
for the different signs of spring.
4 Year Old Class – Mrs. Sipe - February has been an
interesting month. We had some really cold days and we
enjoyed playing with the snow at our science table. We
had a great Valentine’s Party and our pajama party was a
lot of fun.
2 Year Old Class – Mrs. Contento - With high hopes that
the bitter cold and snow days are behind us we start the
month of March. This month we will work with the
color yellow. A bright yellow sun piñata now hangs in
our room. The class will learn a new song to sing to Mr.
Sun each morning. It may take some time but he will
soon shine down on us and we can thaw out the
playground. The children are more than ready to run and
play. With the sun comes spring! We will slowly
transform our artic crafts to warm signs of
spring. Sunny warm thoughts to you all!
3 Year Old Class – Mrs. Genovay – During the month of
February, the children learned about Groundhog Day
(and their shadows), Presidents’ Day, Chinese New
Year, colors, shapes and numbers. They really enjoyed
their Valentine’s Day Party.
March is going to be an interesting month. We will be
watching the weather and hope to see signs of spring
soon. We will begin learning about dinosaurs and can’t
wait to see who our experts will be in our class when it
comes to the dinosaurs.

Eco-Palms
It is estimated that nearly a thousand congregations
across the country will be waving 1 million
ecofriendly palm fronds as Holy Week observances
begin this year. As churches of all denominations
remember Christ’s arrival in Jerusalem, palm fronds
will play a key role. But have you ever wondered
where the fronds come from and how important
they are to the people who harvest them?
In 2005, Lutheran World Relief and the University
of Minnesota began offering congregations an
opportunity to purchase palm fronds harvested in
ways that support communities and protect forests.
Catholic Relief Services and the Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.) later joined the initiative, dubbed
Eco-Palms. The fronds come from communities in
Mexico and Guatemala, and workers receive fair
wages for practicing sustainable harvesting that
protects the local ecosystem.
“There was a time when workers would strip the
palms in the forests and leave nothing behind,” says
Bryce Wiebe, mission associate with the
Presbyterian Hunger Program. “Once the trees were
stripped of the palm fronds, there was no plan to
preserve or grow for future years.”
Working with nongovernmental organizations, the
churches helped communities in these countries
establish a system for harvesting the fronds while
preparing for future growth.
“Now they have a set cycle for each palm tree. You
can only pull a certain number of fronds from each
tree,” Wiebe says. “Harvesters must mark the trees
with a red tie once two fronds are removed, and no
more can be taken, allowing the plants to continue
growing.”
The Eco-Palms program protects forests and local
jobs and provides sustainable livelihoods. With the
work of various ecumenical partners, Wiebe
estimates nearly $1 million is infused in
participating communities. The ecofriendly fronds
are purchased directly from the communities at five
to six times the normal payment, which provides a
stable source of income for families. The annual
Palm Sunday premium has provided scholarships
for elementary school children who would not
otherwise have attended school and has helped
young women to attend college. It has also provided
jobs that did not exist previously for women in the
communities.
Wiebe estimates more than 300 million palm fronds
are harvested each year for U.S. consumption alone.
Last year, 974 Presbyterian congregations
participated in the Eco-Palms program. Add Ewing
Presbyterian Church to the list as this Palm Sunday
will find our congregation waving eco-palms in
celebration.
